11:50. There is a driver that qualified as good as Russel and drove as well as Hamilton, he is called Max Verstappen.

People in the lime light do have a responsibility when it comes to what they say. They can knowingly or inadvertently control the narrative with their comments. The "fans" will always pick up on subtleties and magnify them and I am sure they are aware of that. We know that sometimes an ill placed comment can be like that scene from Die Hard. Bruce Willis throws that grande and walks away leaving the scene in flames behind him. To whom it may concern..

I love the objective ways you guys discuss topics here. Even when I disagree I sense a deep respect for differing opinions from you both. You guys are doing a great job and I hope your membership grows to astronomical numbers. All the best to you both.

I honestly sometimes think the Ambassadorship was not offered because of this Toxicity. Since 2022 and worse in 2023 directly targeting the employees as well. I am saddened that SLH hasn't come out to defend his Team and Teammate since last season. One thing i know about SLH he is media savvy. He knows exactly what he doing. He could have cleared his comments long ago. These sabotage and negativity has been around long enough. I am sad to think that he perceives that him alone has brought this Team success. If he didn't, he would have come out to stop it. I mean, I am also confused how does he go back to the garage and Team day in and day out after he has made those insinuations. He is not attacking Toto only, but James Allison, Bono and his crew. I mean how do you think they can do more for you after you challenge their integrity. My son is a full SLH fan, preteen. I met another teen boy, who said he is no longer a SLH fan bcoz of the fanbase. These are young black boys who used to look up to him. My son doesn't want to lumped as one with the fanbase embarrassed by their behavior. He is now leaning towards Lando. The Teen is a Lando and Max fan now. I see more Max black fans in my African Country more and more. I am happy about the sport and people not being race coded, but sport. But, LH fans are not helping him to be honest. I am proud of SLH achievements and all he fought through personally in character and racism to be the Big Star he is and Achievements and the Mission 44 endeavors. Even happier for his move to Ferrari in his last competitive years. What a career. But, these last few weeks and and not coming to the defense of his Teammate undeserved hate is not cool. He is quick to defend others Naomi and other sports stars, but not him. Others are under an impression he wants to keep them for his Merch.

Good video. Thanks. I think you are right - 2025 has the elements to make the year terrible for Leclare. Thousands of fans critical of him. Thousands of fans critical of Hamilton. Leclare may fail because of mental pressure like Nico experienced. Or Hamilton might blow a gasket and retire if he does not keep up. All good for my favourite driver Max. Mercedes and Ferrari taking some wins away from McLaren (or visa versa), Ferrari self destructing, Mercedes getting a new untested driver with a very sensitive first driver, .... and Max driving down the middle for his fifth title.

"As a Ferrari fan I am little bit afraid of what is coming my way...", it's all Ferrari fans. Hang in there.

I guess your blind I see it plan as day

Lewis can only outdrive a car perfectly suited to his style. Interesting point, since he seems to stuggle with finniky cars versus George...George seems more comfortable pushing iffy, unpredictable cars.

Mercedes make it hard for themselves by being really bad at working alternate strategies.

The ire of Lewis fans is probably related to Abu Dhabi. He was cheated there, so people believe he could be purposely disadvantaged again. His fans want to see him get an 8th. That's what makes it so easy for them to assume the worst. So, in F1, the margin of victory can be .001 secs. It wouldn't take much to have one car fall marginally behind another. 2-3° of temp might affect him. The question, perhaps, is not why Mercedes would want to harm their well-being. Ask yourself if there is a reason Mercedes would want to hinder Lewis at their own expense. 13:30 Lewis said the temp issue happened more than once. Not just Canada. The objective question is not whether it matters but whether it is happening and how you correct it. 20:58 As a Ferrari fan, I’d think you be more worried about that engine and strategy decisions.

Peter Windsor explained it some time back that with 7 WC Lewis won’t drive an unpredictable car at the limit. Why would he for an 9th place or whatever? But George will. Now the car is starting to perform more like a race car Lewis has probably realised he’s let his race craft slip somewhat so I’d imagine it’ll take sometime for him to rediscover his previous form.

I think there too many mistakes when it comes to Lewis than George. I am also happy you admit the tyre temperature thing but I guess the question is why only in Lewis car and how much will it cost him in lap time having a 2-3 degree colder?

first 6 seconds of this video concludes it, no need to watch the rest of it

Lewis need pole to be able to win. Facts: Lewis 104 poles 103 wins Max. 39 poles. 60 wins

most deifnately not George has been beating lewis for the last 2 years give me a break, and you as a driver are responsible for warming your tyres u have control over that sorry lewis nice try!!!

LH really thrived when he had Bottas at his side. What I do not think he saw was the preferential treatment over Bottas he was getting from Merc so much so it birthed the meme “Valtteri it’s James" Suddenly real actual equality feels like oppression to him and his fans.

George used Lewis Hamilton's data statistics from three practices in Canada, when Lewis was the fastest to get on pole. So Lewis is working for George. Why is Mercedes turning down Lewis' car during qualifying?

Sorry but that tire problem during qualifying is nonsense. If those tires were too cold, he shouldn’t be up on sectors 1 and 2 on George, but he was. He made a mistake in the last corner, too fast on the throttle. End of the story

In Brawn GP documentary on Sky. Eccleston confirmed that teams do regularly make one driver car more faster. The the Filipino man doesn't know what he talking about. Firstly a F1 car is like a remote car it can be controlled by the pit wall or the team headquarters.😮😮😮

I believe what’s troubling Lewis is that he isn't receiving the preferential treatment he feels he deserves after many years of loyalty, which is understandably frustrating for him. Having watched the debrief, I'm still puzzled as to why they decided to split the tyres initially, especially when James mentioned they suspected the mediums would grain. These decisions can easily be perceived as sabotage. It seems like the team might be transitioning their focus to George, and Lewis is not pleased with this shift.

I do find it weird though, that during the last pitspot, they gave Lewis Hards but Russel Mediums. That was a strange call since both cars were quick, why put Hamilton on Hards with only a handful of laps left.

Sir Lewis Hamilton, the greatest f.1 driver in history. 104 poles, over 100 race wins, over 100 podium, multiple track records. For some of his haters, it's a bitter pill to swallow. Over to you rookie George, let's see what you can do.

I love how James Allison and Zak Brown are stirring up Christian Horner. I believe the effects of James Allison's leadership are starting to show. His evolutionary approach, constant push for upgrades, and positive attitude in the face of adversity are truly making a difference.

Needless to say, Russell will never be a champion.. !!

What a BS! PS why do the english talk about a "Merc"? It is a Mercedes, a German(!) brand!

The idea of Mercedes "sabotaging" Hamilton is utterly absurd. Fact of the matter, we're witnessing a divorce and an acrimonious one at that. Does Russell get "preferential treatment"? Absolutely and rightly so, Mercedes is well advised to shut out Hamilton as far as possible to avoid sensible information ending up in the wrong, i.e. their archrival's hands. Hamilton fueling all that tinfoil-hattery BS with his insinuations is interesting though. It should be easy for Wolff to step in and put an end to this nonsense... but why stop someone who is obviously on a path to self-destruction? Perhaps Wolff has designs to kick his butt out of the team rather sooner than later? Once the FIA has greenlit Mercedes' application to exempt Antonelli from the "Verstappen rule"... or as soon as he hits 18 for the race at Monza? What better argument than damaging statements in the media from an unruly employee?

You guys just talk rubbish, leave Hamilton from your podcast and talk about tge great white hope Max and Russell. Hamilton is leaving Mercedes and this isn't the first time he got the black treatment. People like your never understand racism because it never happens to you. Hamilton has said he will talk when he retires. Right now he is obliged to see out his contract with Mercedes and Sponsors. If he can set the fastest time in FP and Q2 and underperformed in Q3, you think it is normal. You don't have to believe wgat you hear but the fans kniws what is going on. It is up to Toto and Mercedes to give him the conditions to see out the contract.

It's time to expose the media's blatant bias! Lewis Hamilton, the architect of Mercedes' success with 8 WCCs and 7 WDCs, was denied a well-deserved ambassadorial role, while Toto shamelessly offered Verstappen a $150 million deal for doing absolutely nothing. This is outrageous discrimination, plain and simple! The German team's favoritism towards Verstappen is a slap in the face to Lewis' unparalleled achievements. We're not blind to the toxic environment at Mercedes, which is far worse than Red Bull's infamous 'blonde gate.' Toto's refusal to sue the FIA over Lewis' blatant robbery is a testament to their complicity in this charade. Meanwhile, George Russell consistently underperforms yet receives upgrades first, reeking of white privilege. It's astonishing that you refuse to connect the dots and acknowledge Mercedes' disingenuous attempts to diminish Lewis' legacy. Stop being afraid and speak the truth! The world sees through your lame narrative, and it's time to hold Mercedes accountable for their shameful actions!

104 poles is meaningless when you are out qualified 8-1 by your teammate in the same machinery ✌🏾

I don't think Lewis is being sabotaged. I think Russell is just doing better. The time when Lewis qualified well with party mode Is over. That also makes a big difference. Past success is no guarantee for the present.
